Buying Your First Home in Markham
The conversation we have with every first-time buyer, recorded once so you can have it before you start looking rather than halfway through.
Key takeaways
- A pre-approval is a ceiling, not a budget
- In Markham a first purchase is usually a choice between space, location and property type and you get two
- Milliken Mills, Greensborough, Cornell and Downtown Markham are the usual entry points
- Understand how offer dates and conditions work before the day you need to use them
About this video
We go through how to build a real budget from the monthly payment rather than the pre-approval, which parts of Markham that budget reaches and what actually happens in a multiple offer situation here.
There is also a section on the costs that land after closing, which is where most first-time buyers get caught short.
